**Warning: The beginning of this post will be a total Bride Brain Moment. Scroll to the end for some awesome Giveaway's I'm posting about if you can't handle it**
So the Lovey and I have finished cutting all the inserts for the wedding invitations and mounted the main invite in the pocketfold envelope. Now the question.....to print the address on the invitation envelopes or to just print out clear labels and slap them on there. Thoughts? Here are mine...
*Printing the addresses on the envelopes can look just as nice as handwriting them. In my case, printing from the computer is actually better because my handwriting is ugly..uhh..I mean a little sloppy sometimes.
*We are hand writing in everyone's name on the RSVP's already so that there are NO issues (ha, I can't even write that w/o laughing) of random people showing up at the wedding. So that should count for something
*Clear labels caaaan look nice if the right font is used. I don't want to look or be cheap, but damn, at this point, I just want the damn things to be done.
*Plus side of clear labels is I already have them....downside of envelope printing is that I've never printed envelopes on my printer.
Would you be truly offended if you received a SUUPER cute brown and hot pink wedding invitation that had a printed label on it? Or would you prefer something nicely printed on the ivory envelope? And don't even start with 'invitations need to be taken to a calligrapher blah blah blah'....I'm a champagne girl on a Bud Light budget. And handwriting everyone's name and address is NOT my idea of fun. =) Sooooo what do you think? GO!

We printed them ON the envelope. I did it with my MIL. I almost strangled her. It.took.hours. and 2days. We did the labels for our save-the-dates and to redo it? I'd do labels. I mean honestly - they're just envelopes, it's not worth the headache.
go with the labels. you already have them, and they're a lot easier. it doesn't look cheap. it's just the outside envelope that will inevitably get a little banged up through the postal service.
I'm a label girl.
Now, keep in mind that our envelopments were brown - and there was no way I could put them through a printer and have a lighter color show up.
We used aqua labels and printed brown font onto them.
If I were you, and had ivory envelopes - I'd put them through the printer. But labels would no way offend me either. Do what you gotta do - people are just going to throw them away anyway.
go with the labels miss champagne girl on a budlight budget :)
is there any work left?
can i do some finishing work this coming sundady?
I say go for the labels! No one is going to care and it will be easiest for you!
I say go with the clear labels. No one is even going to notice - I swear.
